Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomOn the first night, late on, it sounded like someone had gotten in the main building area of the hostel and ran through trying all doors. They ran down the corridor towards our door and tried to open it and we heard this happen on quite a few door handles- slightly scary. We were thankful we had locked the door woth the key already. No problems after this.
Convenient location to train station and some local eateries. Also local to pick up point for tours. Spacious room with a bed, dining table, big chest of drawers, sofa and wardrobe space. Although a walk down the hall, we had a private bathroom too. Check in was flexible (€10 late check in fee after certain time) and host greeted us with instructions.

ItalyBathroom was too small. Because of the small size of the sink, it was very inconvenient to wash. Better use the shared bathroom if it’s bigger. And there’s no kitchen.
Location was good, 10 min from train station and 20-25 to city center. The staff were friendly. I didn't have the cash to pay the city tax and the man said it's okay, I can pay later.

MaltaThe main problem is there's no fan for some cooling air. No TV but no problem, if there's a small mini fridge it's cool but no fridge too. To use the private bathroom it's quiet narrow to use the shower and toilet maybe it's 1.50 sq meter.
The area was a few minutes from the train station, from airport direct tram near the airport. It's quiet area, some noises are from the trains but it was nice listening birds in the trees 🌳

The reviews don't do this place Justice, we have traveled all over the world and this is not a two-star unless you expect mints on the pillow. Super nice staff that let us keep our bags/ late check out after rental cars messed with us, definitely a good hotel if you want to stay close To the attractions

United KingdomNothing in particular. The description was accurate and got what I expected.
Strongly recommend for a traveller who wants a place nice and safe to stay on a budget. The place of the hostel is right next to the main station, and easy to walk to the city centre. The surrounding of the hotel was a nice quiet villege, and felt safe staying there. I was worried if the sound of the train was loud from reading the reviews, but it was quiet at night, and in the morning, I heard trains but it wasn’t loud and easily ignorable. The room was neat and clean with a sink. The bathroom is out of the room, but felt safe since it can be locked from the inside and out. having a sink in the room was convenient, since I can wash my hands and face in the room. I loved that the room and bathroom locks were modern (not the ones that you can peek through the keyhole). There are room cleaning service everyday and it was nice coming home to a room where the bed was made neatly and the trash bin emptied. And most of all, the hosts were super nice people. They responded to me quickly whenever I had questions and have flexible check-in times. They were kind to tell me how to stay safe when walking around town.

SlovakiaWe had a pleasant experience. while the cleanliness could have been improved, I appreciated that the staff removed the bins everyday and the bedsheets were clean. For travelers who don’t expect luxury, the hostel provides comfortable beds for a good nights sleep. The location of the hostel was excellent, with easy access to public transportation and you could even go by walk into the city centre. additionally, the hosts were friendly and accomodating, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. They even went above and beyond by allowing us to leave our luggage with them after we checked out, since our flight wasn’t until later in the day. Overall, I would recommend this hostel to travelers for a budget-friendly option in a convenient location with friendly hosts. thank you! :)
